There was once a man who kept ac-

He said that out of all the worries in

several years, only two had any sub-
stantial basis, and these were trivial.

The Goderich Star reports thusly—
Hard coal may be obtained at $10.00
per ton and at present there is no
scarcity. Hard wood is sold anywhere
between $4 and $6, and one dealer
sells it by weight (cut and split) at
$4.00 per ton. Slabs, (soft wood) fetch
$3.00 per load. Soft coal has been
sold as low as $5 the past month, but
its present price is near $6.50.

North Peith.
The riding of North Perth is open by
mutual agreement of the two
candidates. Negotiations were held
by the opposing counsel at the hour
for trial. It seems.that on a scrutiny
the majority of ,one held by J. C.
Monteith, Conservative, would be re-
versed and Brown would be declared
elected. The enormous expense of con-
tinuing the scrutiny is saved by this
arrangement.
Failing Health.
The Advance regrets to hear that
our townsman, R. W. Runciman, finds
his health failing, and on the advice of
his physician, has decided to dispose
of his business and remove to a south-
ern climate, He offers his residence,
on corner of Victoria and Shnter Ste.,

hope Mr. launciman will fully recover
his health. He is an excellent work-

restaurant on Wednesday evening.
After a delicious supper served in city
style by Will. Scott, a pleasant time
was spent listening to songs, addresses
etc., R. A' Douglass presiding. Dr.
Irwin greatly interested the boys in
his address, outlining the history of
Wingham's football career. The club
desires to thank the people of Wing -
ham for their past patronage. They
report a surplus of $40, and expect 1903
season to be even better than the past
year.
Reports. . •.
Dr. Reid, one of the expert judges
at the fall fairs in this vicinity, in
his report, says :—Heavy horses pre-
dominated in most of the places visit-
ed by' me. This was particularly
marked in Bruce and Huron, and I
think this is the best class of horse for
the ordinary farmer. I saw some very
fine heavy horses at Teeswater and
Wingharn. In Harriston, Walkerton
and Palmerston, there was a larger
proportion of light horses, although
the exhibit of many horses were fine.
J. Campbell, the expert on cattle, says
in his report :—At Wingham, a class
of . two-year steers, ,some ten in all,
would do even Britain credit,
Mason keeps the largest stock of
School Supplies for the opening.—Send

For Farmers.
Not many farmers become million -
:tires, but here are a few examples for
their encouragement :—One of the
richest farmers in Kansas wheat belt
is John T, Stewart, who went to that
state five years ago. He borrowed $50
from a friend, rented a quarter section
of land in Summer Co., and began
work. To -day he is worth $2,000,000
and bad an income from wheat in
1901 of $64,000. He is known as the
wheat king of Kansas. There are 23
millionaires in Kansas, 15 of whom are
farmers, living on farms and running
them as an investment, Perhaps they
have not all of their fortunes invested
in land but a large portion of it is.
Bought.
Mr, and Mrs. W. 0. Mclvor left on
Monday to spend the winter in St.
Thomas, Before leaving, Mr. Mclvor
purchased what has been known as
the Allan McLean property In Tees -
water from Rev, H. W. Reid of St,
Thomas. The property is a; most
desirable one, and Is said to have cost
Mr. Reid $5000. Our townsman how-
ever secured the beantiful,residence at
a very much lower figure, at what
might he termed a "bargain day"
price. It will make a very comfort•
able and desirable home for Mr. Mc -
Ivor and family, when they decide to
occupy it, It includes a beautiful reel -
deuce, three acres of grounds, most
convenient stable and other con.
veniences,

Mail -Empire Premiums.
The Mail -Empire hast secured two
fine pictures, reproductions of expen-
Sive paintings, and the choice of these
can be secured by every subscriber to
the Weekly Mail -Empire. One of the
pictnres is "The Doctor," representing
a physician by the side of a dying child
while, the father and mother stand
near by, The second picture is entitled
"Contentment." It is the tall and
graceful figure of a beautiful girl, in an
attitude suggestive of contentment.
These premiums can be seen next
week at the Advance office. The
Mail -Empire and the Advance, with
one of these pictures, also the Ad-
vance premium can be had for 1903,
for $1.75; balance of this year free to
new subscribers in both cases.
A Foot Bridge.
As the Advance pointed out a few
weeks ago, a foot bridge across the
river from the foundry is a necessity.
Not long ago several of the men were
caught on the high railway bridge by
an unexpected train, and only saved
themselves by lying down on the tim-
bers. Even then they were so un-
nerved that they could not work satis-
factorily the rest of the day, and three
of them left. Men accustomed to city
conveniences prefer living in the pity,
and unless something is done, our
growing industry across the river will
he crippled for want of skilled hien,
who can only be secured in
manufac
-
turing. centres. We t oderitartd that' '
the c1.o tnnk brri the 1;iii:tt,era ,nA,s.r eons
sideration and intend to take action.
Another drawback to the foundrymen
is the scarcity of dwelling -houses for
the families of the workmen. With
orders coming in freely for Huron
stoves and ranges, anything that in-
terferes with the securing of workmen
will not only be a handicap to the
foundry, but also a loss to the town,
and so far as possible such difficulties
should be removed.

Hicks' Forecasts.
For November, Prof. Hicks' fore-
casts, very much condensed, are :--
The first storm movements for this
month will be central on the 3rd and
4th. Cloudiness, rain turning to snow
followed by high, cold winds and free-
zing weather. The second storm peri-
od for November will he central on the
9th, extending from the 7th to the
12th. As we enter well into this period
a marked change to warmer will move
out of western parts, falling barometer
will follow, and wide areas of autum-
nal rain will move eastward from
about the 0th to the 12th. These
storms will reach the culminating
stage about the 11th, with possible
lightning and thunder southward, all
followed from the northwest by change
to snow, rising barometer and cold.
clearing weather. Watch and see.
The moon is full on the loth, and at
her perigee on the 10th, also at her
highest point northward in the sky on
the 17th. Therefore on and touching
the 15th and 10th low barometer, rising
temperature, and wide areas of renew-
ed rain, turning to snow. Watch, first
for warmer, pleasant weather, then
for cloudiness and rain, then for shift
of temperature and wind with snow,
then for high barometer, stiff norther-
ly gales and cold, clearing weather—
not all at once on your patch, but each
in regular rotation. One of the mark-
ed storm periods of the month covers
the 10th to the 23rd. Be prepared at
this time for all the progressive phe-
nomena of a very active storm period.
Look for sleet, attended and followed
by a change amounting to a cold
wave. This period will come to its
Crisis about the 22nd and 23rd. If yes-
sels aro navigating the lakes at this
times, great suffering and probable dis-
aster will result. On and touching the
20th and 27th, the cloudy, unsettled
weather, resulting from the Mercury
equinox, will grow into decided au-
tumnal storms of rain, wind and snow,
In all northern sections look for heavy
sleet. On the north Atlantic, rough
weather will call for extra care and
caution. Read telegraphic news and
see. As the month goes out a storm
period will be in its first stages ; it will
be turning warmer in the west, with
falling barometer.

InA Dream.
a ,
The Pinkerton correspondent of tire
Bruce Herald reports the following:—
"Mr. Murray of this place had a lively
experience one night not long ago. In
a dream he saw two men in a deadly
struggle for victory. One of the men.
gaining the mastery over his oppon-
ent, undertook to put his eyes out,
This was too much for our hero to
stand, and lie thought it was time to
take a hated in the struggle. He aimed
a right-hander at the vicious man, but
came in contact with something hard,
This awoke Mr. Murray from his
dream, and to his horror he noticed
his hand bleeding and a large piece of
plaster off the wall.

Died,
Mr. Hogg died early Monday morn-
ing in London hospital, where he had
been taken in the hope that the skill
available there might aid in his recov-
ery. It will be remembered that, on
September 12th, he fell from a• step-
ladder through the hoist -way in Mr.
Young's shop, and was found some
time afterwards lying bruised, bleed-
ing and unconscious in the cellar, by
the stone wall. He never frilly regain-
ed consciousness, except for brief in-
tervals, and a week ago Monday last
he was taken to London hospital. No-
thing, however, could be done for him,
and about one o'clock Monday morn-
ing his spirit took its flight. The fu-
neral took place to Wingham ceme-
tery on Wednesday, the Canadian
Foresters of Court Maitland No. 25 fol-
lowing the remains of their deceased
brother to the grave. Rev. 14. Hobbs
conducted the burial service, after
which the impressive ritual' of the
Foresters was read, and the brethren
each dropped the significant sprig of
evergreen 'on the casket. Deceased
was 48 years of age, and had been for
many years a resident of Wingham..
A. quiet, industrious man, of excellent
character, and a good citizen, he en-
joyed the esteem of all. His bereaved
wife and son have sincere sympathy in
their very severe trial. Mrs. Hogg
speaks highly of the kindness of Mr.
A; Young and family to her during
her late husband's illness. Recogniz-
ing Mrs.. Hogg's faithful work in the

NOTE AND COMMENT.
—Notwithstanding the reduction in
the prices of coal, the coming winter
promises to he rather chilly for the
Ontario Government. I. P. Whitney,
however, promises to make the atmos-
phere of the Parliament bnildings
warm enough for Hon. G. W. Ross.
* * *
—With the prospect of cheaper coal,
the Globe's "Coal"-ition fever quickly
abated.
* - *
-Now that there has been a drop in
the price of coal, there is positively no
excuse for using ballots for fuel in the
Government buildings—at least not
until the election trials are all over.
We have heard of such things being
done, however.
* *
--Sir Wilfrid Laurier's "When Tarte
goes I go" may now be regarded as
equal in value to many, of the planks
in the Liberal platform prior to 1806.
« .
—The honorable gentlemen, Laurier
and Tarte, were once very "sweet" on
each other. There is now a Tarte nese
between them,
* * «
---A Goderich fuel dealer is now sell-
ing wood by weight. Come to think

Dr. Miller somewhere compares our
lives to a song: God has written the
music for us, in the Bible and in our
daily tasks. Every duty is some note
upon the staff. Every disobedience is a
false note and makes a discord. A life
well lived on earth must make sweet
music in heaven.

We are indebted to the Videtto for
the following on the death of Miss

record the death of Eva S. Garbutt, at
the age of eleven years, four months
and fifteen days, eldest daughter of
our touch esteemed pastor, Rev, R. J.
Garbutt. Eva was apparently in her
usual health until Tuesday night about
two o'clock, when she wakened her
dear parents, and telling them she was
not feeling well; she continued gr ow-
ing worse, and Drs. Kennedy of Wing-
ham,Stevenson of London, and Tuck
of Gerrie, performed an operation on
Friday, but it was hopeless, and on
Sunday evening at nine o'clock her
spirit went home to Jesus, To know
Eva was to love her, as she possessed a
choice Spirit, a noble soul, gentle,
trusting and kind. She was a light
and joy in her home, and her decease
has immeasurably darkened and sad-
dened the home. She made Christ her
Friend and Saviour when very young,
under the influence of Christian par-
ents in a Christian home, and through
the teachings of tire Sunday school.

zoo YOUNG MEN WANTED.
Will you kindly put this matter
fairly before the readers of your
valuable paper. "100 young men
wanted" sounds like an old worn`out
style of advertising, but it 'expresses a
condition of things in Canada to -day
that has never before existed in over
30 years experience in supplying office
help; and it is not confined to Canada
alone. We are receiving calls after
call for male stenographers - that we -
cannot fill,and positions at $50 and
$00 per mnth are begging for young
men to fill them. We have now
eleven unfilled calls of this kind and
the number keeps increasing. Too
few young men take up this line of
work and this is the reason why, year
after year, the supply is so far short of
the demand. If you will make this
known to your readers, you will be
doing Brenn a favor and perhaps help
us to meet the demands of the bus-
iness public in a wore satisfactory
measure,
